Icy Phoenix

Hello everyone!

As most of you know, I am a very big fan of Icy Phoenix!

As a tribute to this site and the Mighty Gorgon, I decided to do a template especially for whoever wants it. I just took my favorite style, MG Pearl Black, and made a MG Pearl.

It's white or sort of "Pearly".

It's my default template right now. Anyone's comments would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Update: site is down for a few days. Please check back.

Grey pearl?

You did a great job.

Thanks guys. I still have some more work. The most time consuming next to the graphics, is the .css

I was checking it with IE7 and only noticed some rough edges around the forum .png's.

I went with a smoother set.


The real credit belongs to MG and Lopalong right now, because they both do inspire a lot of people, especially like me, who always was able to grab java and html, but this world is a very cool one!!!

By the way, I just call it pearl, because a pearl in it's natural state is not really white, it's silver, so the color name explains it.

:)

Limun, thanks buddy. I fixed it. Had to go into forum config. and find the proper width value. I fixed it within the CMS configuration. The great thing there, is MG programmed that feature within user controls!!!!

Nice work gearhead

Good looking theme, alough personal I perfer darker ones, in that sort of style.

Eeeek! :mrgreen:

Ideally themes should be created / modified using a vanilla install of Icy Phoenix and preferably with all the default settings and no MODS etc, and with all of the optional blocks such as Configuration "Headers & Banners", Ctracker "Global News" functioning. ;)

The settings applied using CMS etc, depend on the Database Settings to maintain them, when the problem needs to be addressed with markup and .css :(

Happy Theming GearHead - - I hope you didn't think it was going to be that easy? :mricy: :mryellow:

It's pretty time intensive. I found that out with a few problems with my first one, the Crystal Turquoise. I'm gonna fix that one, and keep working on "Pearl", until I find no issues.

Thank you for the compliment, TheSteffen.

Like Lopalong said, nobody said it was easy, but it's a good challenge I enjoy.

If anyone notices anything else, please let me know!

:)

3 days now with no problems.......anybody seen anything else?

:mrgreen:

Good job... what about calling it Gray Pearl? :wink:

Maybe you may add some colors in the buttons... but it is up to you. :wink:

P.S.: try to have a look at the White Pearl Buttons in this site.

Extra borders around the Menu and Tags blocks - But that could be generated from having borders (yes) in the CMS? ;)

Thanks for the compliments, but it took a lot of time, and there was not much editing, only the graphics and .css.

I think it's silver enough to call it that. Thanks MG!!......hmmm how about a "pearl-like" effect on the buttons?
